Why?
Why will we work too hard to get cars,
Ignore walking
Thinking we sit in comfort
Think of our being
And pay to be told
Our prescription is walking?

Why?
Why will we throw away nature,
Taste every alien meal
Ignoring what it’s made of
Drink every alien drinkable
Think of our being and pay to be told
Our prescription is nature?

Now it dawns
Complications reign our nation
Complexities are hailed in cities
The life now is what everyone wants for a wife
Male or female alike
So we are homos in greed for the fashion of the day
Funny how to decay we say thoughtless yays!

It’s sad how quick precipitation change. It’s sad how are priorities shift. We are all products of our environment. To rise above is to be the ones who think first and then act for the good of their surroundings. If we all thought about in this way then life as we know would bring truth beyond what we know now
